Built over 600 years ago,
Powderham Castle is the historic home of the Earl
of Devon. The Castle is still lived in by the Courtenay family and is one of England's best known Stately Homes.
The Castle lies in a
beautiful setting in an ancient deer park alongside the River Exe and is at
the centre of a large traditional estate of about 4,000 acres. The Castle is
open to the public and welcomes thousands of visitors between Easter and
October every year and is also exclusively available for private and corporate
functions such as dinners, board meetings, dances and balls. The Castle is
also approved and licensed for the holding of Civil Marriage Ceremonies and is
very popular for wedding receptions.
The grounds play host to
events large and small and the Estuary, which forms part of the Estate, has
space for those looking for yacht moorings.
Above all Powderham has a unique atmosphere, combining beauty, tranquility and history, which those who visit the Castle,
for whatever reason, will remember for a long time afterwards, and sometimes
for the rest of their lives.
